Abstract: Fifteen new solid complexes of rare earth isothiocyanates with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were synthesized and characterized by chemical analysis, IR and X-ray diffraction.Compositions of the complexes conform to the formula RE(NCS)3·mDMSO(RE=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, m=5, RE=Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Y, m=4).Thermal decompositions of the complexes were studied by TG-DTA-DTG.The values of activation energy and reaction order for the first steps of decomposition of the complexes were determined from TGcurves, using the Coats-Redfern method.The results show that the activation energy depends on the atomic number of lanthanoids, and "double peak phenomenon" is observed.
